justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 28, 2018 Report Posted May 28, 2018 Almost there, brother, I promise. All that remains is to get 2 photos.. The first being a close-up of your thigh ammo pack showing the bottom, which needs to be rounded off as per the CRL, and I can't really see yours too well. The photos you posted are from too far away. Also, we will need you to adjust the plate on your TD. The O ring needs to be sitting on the top. This should be really easy to fix, just remove the screws, slide it up and you will ge golden! THANKS! Reference images Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 28, 2018 Report Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for sharing these photos - you look fantastic!! Quote

menschie[TK] Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 The coolness factor with this build is ridiculously high. I love it. Great job! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Wow Alan, this is amazing, and TBH, the first one I have seen. Good luck with your review sir, although I doubt you will need it Quote

Good luck with your review sir, although I doubt you will need it Thanks much Andrew! It was my first exposure into the TK world. Todd M. paved the way and I stand on the shoulders of his and the detachment staff's prior CRL work. 16 hours ago, menschie said: The coolness factor with this build is ridiculously high. I love it. Great job! Thanks Colin! There were challenges working with different tools, materials, buildng, and connectivity methods with the chestbox and jetback, etc. I learned a great deal!

There are areas of improvement, which I'll try to work on next few months. On 5/28/2018 at 5:55 PM, Daetrin said: Thanks for sharing these photos - you look fantastic!! As always, thank you Paul!

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Hi Alan, and welcome to your EIB review. Thank you for applying. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Super nice job on that build, brother, and I appreciate you taking to the ime on those fixes. On behalf of Tony and myself, a big congratulations on being the first Sky Trooper in the Legion to reach level 2! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor Not a whole lot to add here, Alan. There are a few small cosmetic issues on your bucket which would add to the overall finished look of the incredible job you did, mainly the ABS paste around the ears and on the vocoder. A bit of time with some fine grit sandpaper and paint would make this a showpiece! In addition, for your Centurion submission (which I hope to see soon) could you post up some detailed pics of your chest box, including the top? You may as well show off the great job you did! Lastly, it would be awesome (but not necessary) to see a short video clip of your pack lights and sounds in action! Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. As stated in the CRL, for level 3, you will need to change out the flat green lenses for the bubble type as seen below: Reference image Again, fantastic job, Trooper, and looking forward to seeing you at level 3! 1 Quote
